superior races. and the trader in his keen
thirst for gold keeps even pace with the
missionary in his love for souls. The
traders have the World, the Flesh and
the Devil on their side, and they very
soon outnumber the missionaries a hun

John Taylor. President of the Mormon

John Taylor, President Of the Mormon
Church, is dead. He was self-possessed
fanatic. In age he lacked year and four
months of eighty years. His native
country was England, and his first relig-
ION was Methodist. In 1892 he settled in
Toronto, where lie left the Wesleyans
and became Progressive Methodist. In
1886 he was converted to Mormonism by
Farley P. Pratt, the brother of Orson
Pratt. In 1888 Joseph Smith made him
one of the Twelve APOSTLES. Taylor was
an able man; plausible and forcible, he
made a fine propagandist for twenty
years in Europe. He was as hypocritical
as Jesuit, very courageous, was shot
four times in Carthage Jail and would
have been killed by fifth shot. The
Sunday that DR.. A. B. Leonard, Of Ohio,
and the writer were in Salt Lake City in
1871, John Taylor sat with the Apostles
and Brigham Young in great state, and
Orson Pratt preached tremendous SER
mon. 1t is hard to believe that Taylor
did not know that the whole thing was a
sham. If he did, he was hoary-headed
knave; if he did not, he was a phe-
nominal fool. His last days were embit-
tered by the attempt of the Government
to dislodge him from his seraglio.-N. Y.

of life, and their good effects will ex-
tend beyond the grave.
Impressed with the neauty. and sweet
snrss, and purity of the les ons " llich are
contained in our ritual, it would be well
for us if each and every member would
learn the whole by heart.
We are engaged in the noblest work
that can enlist the sympathy and active
cooperation of the great brotherhood Of
man. For this reason we should never
grow weary. Our meetings can and
should be made interesting to all who
may come.
CheereG by the presence of our beauti-
fl! sisters, and conscious of the purity OF
our motives, we should never falter.
Better morals or purer principles were
never taught by any society. -
If each one of us could absorb or ap-
propriate the language Of our ritual
while adopting its precepts as rule and
guide of life, we would be better men
and better women, and the world would
be better for our having lived in it.

DR.. Samuel Stanhope Smith, though
learned, able and devout, was very osten-
tatious in style, even in the pulpit. lie
had brother who was distinguished
physician and an unbeieyer in Christian
ity. On one occasion the Doctor OF Dl-
vinity invited the Doctor of Medicine 10
come to hear him preach. Aftcrward be.
ing asked by the preacher what he thought
of the sermon he answered 81 went to
hear Christ and Him crucified, but in
stead / had to hear Samuel Stanhope
Smith and him dignitied.'
Present duty is the only duty that is
incumbent on us as duty. What may
be our duty by and by is, at the best, a
matter Of conjecture; for we may never
reach the hour when that possibility has
become reality. AS Carlyle says, our
grand business is not to see what hes
dimly at a distance but to ito what lies
clearly at hand" If this truth were
more clearly in our minds, we should
have less worry over the supposed con,
flict of duties in our daily living and
doing.-S. s. Times.

GUNS VERSUS GosPEL.-Some very
large guns have recently been made, cost
ing, each of them, nice3 little fortune.
we are told each shot fired will cost $500.
Each one of these guns would build many
churches and parsonages and school,
houses. Each shot would support, for 9
a year missionary and his family. II
there was as much money spent in saving
as in butchering men, the necessity tor
wars would soon cease. Yet nations
spend the money of the people by the
millions in such barbarous outlays. and
The church raises it's money in benevolent
efforts by thousands. The nations think
such savage performances are for its pro-
lection. The truth is, that if for ten years
the war revenues OF the civilized world
we're expended in Christian missionary
work, the world might largely ec taken
for Christ, and nations be saved from lall
danger from one another. A Christian
church is the best fort ever built, and q
missionary is more protection than a
general.-ObserUer.

LAUGHTER at the right time and plat

Laughter at the right time and place
both shows the man and helps to make
tho man. But, as a rule, laughter at ones
own witticisms or drolleries is as really
out of place as self-praisc. He who does
his own Laughing at his bright sayings or
doings, as he who praises himsolf f-seems
to leaye nothing for any one else to do in
that line. 1t appears to he generally, un-
derstood in the world that there is about
SO much laugh or praise, fairly due to (,
on himself to do all that for himself, that
naturally relieves everybody else of re,
sponsibility in the same direction; but II
he freely leaves tho laughing or the prais-
ing for others to attend to, they are gen.
orally ready to do their part In the prem.
ises. There is "a time to laugh; Dut
that time rarely comes to man when he
has lust said or done thing which is in
tended to make others laugh.-S~nday
